Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the area of uninterrupted power supply systems for high power uninterrupted power supply, typically with a power of at least tens of kilowatt, preferably a power of at least one hundred kilowatt.
  • UPS systems generally comprise a central system level hardware for connecting the UPS systems to a power distribution, for which uninterrupted operation has to be achieved.
  • the system level hardware may comprise customer cable landings, bypasses, switch gears, system user interfaces and so on.
  • This system level hardware can be provided commonly in an input/output (I/O) enclosure.
  • the UPS system further comprises at least one, usually multiple converters, also referred to as uninterrupted power supply modules, which store electrical power to provide it via the I/O connection enclosure to the power distribution.
  • Converters also referred to as uninterrupted power supply modules, which store electrical power to provide it via the I/O connection enclosure to the power distribution.
  • Number, size and power rating of the converters are chosen depending on the UPS system design based on customer requirements. In this area, UPS power systems with a power of at least 100 kW are common.
  • the converters are typically arranged in single, free standing enclosures, which are connected in parallel for providing power of at least tens of kilowatt. Accordingly, the converters can be provided in the enclosures side by side to each other, which enables formation of high power UPS systems. Also parallel connection of single converters through hard wired cabling to a common I/O enclosure is known. Accordingly, the converters are hard wired, e.g. by cables, to a central I/O enclosure.
  • UPS systems Due to hard wiring and large building blocks, i.e. large enclosures for the converters, the above UPS systems are difficult to service, since removal of the converters is a major operation, and modification of the UPS system, e.g. an adaptation due to changed power requirements, resulting in an addition, removal or substitution of converters, is rather complicated, labor intensive and time consuming, since cable connection has to be disconnect and interference from adjacent enclosures and/or converters can occur, especially for a converter that is not located at an lateral end of a row. Also service safety can be very poor.
  • bus bars Even when cables are replaced by bus bars, the converters still have to be connected to the bus bars, so that the individual cabling effort for connecting the converters remains. Furthermore, the use of bus bars may reduce air circulation capabilities of the UPS system. Accordingly, the trend for hot/cold aisles and closed air paths can be compromised due to bus bar setup.
  • EP 2 111 088 A2 shows a modular assembly base for electrical devices.
  • US 2010/138586 A1 shows an adaptive and modular UPS system.
  • the invention provides an uninterrupted power supply system for high power uninterrupted power supply, typically with a power of at least tens of kilowatt, preferably a power of at least one hundred kilowatt, comprising an I/O module for electrically connecting the uninterrupted power supply system, at least one docking frame as specified above, and at least one uninterrupted power supply module as specified above, whereby the I/O module and the at least one docking frame are provided in a horizontal arrangement, and the docking frame receives the at least one uninterrupted power supply module.
  • the invention provides a docking frame for receiving at least one uninterrupted power supply module for high power uninterrupted power supply systems, typically with a power of at least tens of kilowatt, preferably a power of at least one hundred kilowatt, comprising connection means for electrically connecting the uninterrupted power supply module horizontally to at least another docking frame and/or an I/O module, whereby the connection means comprises at least one bus connection means for providing the electrical connection to the at least another docking frame and/or the I/O module.
  • the uninterrupted power supply module for the high power uninterrupted power supply systems typically with a power of at least tens of kilowatt, preferably a power of at least one hundred kilowatt, for connection with the above docking frame.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to provide the docking frames for flexible connection of uninterrupted power supply (UPS) modules, whereby the docking frames enable flexible use in UPS systems due to the bus connection means, which facilitate connection of a docking frame to another docking frame.
  • UPS uninterrupted power supply
  • Such a UPS system is inherently very flexible for installation sites that typically require high UPS power and are undergoing frequent modifications or where power requirements are frequently modified. Also growing sites can easily be supported by UPS power, since the UPS system can easily be upgraded. The same refers, of course, also to a downgrade of the UPS system.
  • the bus connection means enable a simple side-by-side architecture of the UPS system, with capability for great flexibility through installation life time.
  • the side-by-side architecture enables in particular a simple electrically parallel architecture of the UPS system.
  • the docking frame refers to any kind of enclosure for receiving the at least one UPS module.

  • the docking frame may comprise functionality, which is typically provided in a central input/output (I/O) enclosure.
  • the docking frame can also provided integrally with the at least one uninterrupted power supply module, i.e. the docking frame and at least one UPS module can form a single unit for use in the UPS system. Accordingly, when such a single unit is connected to the UPS system, it is already ready for use, since installation of at least one UPS module is not required.
  • the docking frame can be provided with multiple bus connection means, so that multiple electrical connections can be formed. Accordingly, the docking frame can be capable of configurations for different current and voltage requirement. Furthermore, the docking frame can be provided with a system topology through choice of bus connection means at a pre-defined position, thereby e.g. indication maximum currents or used voltages.

  • the horizontal bus bar facilitates internal connection of UPS modules. Handling of a bar as conductor is rather simple in respect to mounting and unmounting and for forming electrical connections to other conductors.
  • the horizontal bus bar can be provided in accordance with a system topology through choice the bus bar at a pre-defined position, thereby e.g. indicating maximum currents or used voltages.
  • the docking frame is provided to receive multiple uninterrupted power supply modules.
  • the multiple UPS modules are preferably connected to one or a set of common bus connection means, i.e. the multiple UPS modules commonly provide e.g. power at a required voltage.
  • the multiple UPS modules may also be connected to different bus connection means, e.g. for providing different voltages within one docking frame.
  • the docking frame comprises at least one vertical bus bar for electrical connection of the at least one uninterrupted power supply module, whereby the at least one vertical bus bar is electrically connected to the bus connection means.
  • the vertical bus bar facilitates the connection of the at least one UPS module to the bus connection means, since the connection of the UPS modules can be done to the vertical bus bar, which are locates close to the UPS modules. Handling of a bar as conductor is rather simple in respect to mounting and un-mounting and for forming electrical connections to other conductors.
